A huge variety of optical colour centres can be found in diamond, emitting in its whole wide
transparency range. Although several of these centres have been demonstrated as single …

Artificial atoms like the nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond enable the realization of
fully functional qubits in a solid at room temperature. The functionalities of all the parts …

Devices that harness the laws of quantum physics hold the promise for information
processing that outperforms their classical counterparts, and for unconditionally secure …

Qubits based on colour centres in diamond became a prominent system for solid-state
quantum information processing and sensing. But the deterministic creation of qubits and …

Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) colour centres in diamond are attracting growing attention due to
potential applications in solid-state quantum information processing and magnetometry …

We demonstrate a technique to nanofabricate nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond
based on broad-beam nitrogen implantation through apertures in electron beam lithography …

The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centre in diamond is a promising candidate for a solid-state

Effective methods to generate colour centres in diamond and other wide band-gap materials
are essential to the realisation of solid state quantum technologies based on such systems …

We investigate a system consisting of a single, as well as two emitters strongly coupled to
surface plasmon modes of a nanowire using a Green's function approach. Explicit …
